Favoured For Doubles Match To-day.

FINAL AGAINST FRANCE NEXT WEEK

London, To-day. The sensational wins by Bunny Austin and Fred Perry at Auteuil yesterday have almost assured Britain of success against America in the Inter-Zone Final of the Davis Cup at Anteil.

To-day Pat Hughes and Fred Perry meet G. M. Latt and John Van Ryn in the doubles match and all indications point to a Bri. tish triumph.

Should the British pair falter Austin is almost assured of suc- cess against Allison to-morrow. Two years ago Britain beat America by the odd match only to lose to France by the same margin.

The Challenge 'Round will· be played on the same courts next Friday, Saturday and Sunday whep France will probably fail to retain posses- sion of the trophy far the seventh year in nuecession.
